Race Video Forums - View Single Post - Shannon's 580rwhp GTO vs 400rwhp TA

Mellon · June 29th, 2008

we had a short notice invite to race so I rode along with Shannon to meet up with a 400rwhp "cam only" TA..the TA was strong but Shannon came on around him pretty easily. The guy didn't want to be filmed because it would "jeopardize his career" so with respect to him I just shot Shannon's instrument cluster. I wanted to check out a new high definition video setting anyway. So it isn't much to watch, but it sure sounds good

on the way back home Shannon let me launch his car a few times to see what it's like with 580rwhp and 670tq...I'm used to my lil 500awhp 4 banger so it was quite different. I took off decently and felt the wheelspin, lifted enough to find traction and stabbed the gas pedal again like I would in the evo but this time it just baked the tires all over again...I wasn't ready for that. It's certainly a wild goat but damn fun to drive
